Vehemence Came As Anodyne - Blackthorn

Suddenly

One sultry night,

The moon burst

into fragments

broken by unrelenting

sharp-clawed hand

from nowhere…

Afterwards the swollen

Stars eroded

Making red thick streams

Flow down from the welkin

It’s all

going to be engored once more…

Vehemence came as anodyne

‘Tween pulsating earth and sky

From now on you have my word

You will never be alone

II

They woke up

In their own beds —

Women, men, old and young…

Without tongues

And without eyes

Spurred by one

desire

To find help

They ran out

Into the streets

Panic spread so quickly

They clung to each other

In fear, reaching

The bones and

Shrieking hearts

… Oh, vielleicht

kennst du mein

Gesicht nicht

Mein eigen fleisch

Und blut aber du kennst mein

Name, mein name ist Tod

Ich habe euch bey der hand genomen

Ir must an meynen reyen komen

Vehemence came as anodyne

‘Tween pulsating earth and sky

From now on you have my word

You will never be alone.

This is me,

Who set free

Demons of infinite chaos

And with me

you will flee

into the streams

of impending storm

III

Suddenly

One sultry night,

The moon burst

into fragments

Like a blade

Of guillotine

Something fell

Upon the

Sleeping earth

I am the one who

Touched her delusive hand

Heard her still voice and got lost in

Mother Archaos' eyes

Vehemence came as anodyne

‘Tween pulsating earth and sky

From now on you have my word

You will never be alone.

Be without

Any doubt

The sands now

Are running out

And with me

you will flee

into the foreverness
